Feel good story
Well when I taught our soldier boy Jordan to knit he was knee high to a grass hopper and sure it wasn't a boys thing, but he persevered because I said surely girls weren't cleverer than boys
He went into the army and his knitting was made fun of but one by one the lads became fascinated to the point good two thirds of the regiment are now knitters.
This morning a huge box arrived by courier and I thought I didn't order anything ?
So I opened it and it's a huge box of tiny dog jumpers and coats for me to give to dog rescues, and a pile of tiny hats for premature babies for hospitals near by.
I'm so proud of him and them.
They are apparently sending another box of knitted jumpers for homeless people when that arrives I'm to pass it on to the Sally Army for them.

Re: Feel good story
They are all lovely lads when they get time off most of them go round and say hello to all the other families. We've had several drop in here on their way home. It's been an eye opener I admit I was worried when he went into the army a black Muslim who knits didn't sound as if he'd fit in but he's been accepted so well by them all. I won't have anything bad said about our young people while I know young men like them.
